In the last month, both Apple and Google had press conferences showing off their new operating systems. Both were met with a resounding “meh” followed by outcries that Apple’s just an imitator these days. Here’s an unpopular opinion: I don’t care.

Apple and Google have trained us to expect amazing things. With new operating systems and phones every year, we think we deserve a revolution with each iteration, because that’s what we saw when these products were new—but that’s normal. Innovating at the same rate for years was never going to be possible. Not only that, it’s not useful. Do you remember the Amazon Fire phone? It was new and different. It also sucked. Even recent innovations from Apple and Google—like Apple Pay, Passbook, Google Wallet, and SMS in Hangouts—have been met with a resounding shrug from most users. After nearly a decade with these devices, we’ve reached a point of diminishing returns. We don’t need revolutionary anymore, we just need our devices to do what they already do...better.

For example, in their keynote, Apple spent three minutes talking about the addition of transit directions to iOS 9. Think about that. In 2012, transit directions would have been briefly noted. Now it’s a whole part of the keynote. That’s far from revolutionary, but it’s an iteration Apple desperately needed (and still needs, since it’s only launching in a small handful of cities). But that’s really all I want. Small, useful iterations.

If you take a look at the feature list of Android M and iOS 9, you’ll notice they’re pretty similar. The two companies built operating systems that anyone can use from the get-go. They have common gestures, similar notifications, and a feature set that makes it easy to switch between the two. A lifelong iOS user can pick up an Android phone and use its basic functions right away, and vice versa. The two have been playing off each other from the start, and it’s really starting to show.

In that sense, the platform wars don’t matter nearly as much as they used to. Both Android and iOS are good. Both are useable. And more and more, you can use all of your favorite services on both devices. Apple Music will be available for Android. Google Play Music is on iOS. More importantly, third-party services everyone uses, like Spotify, Facebook, and Netflix exist on both. Does any normal person care whether you use Android or iOS? No. And at this point, there’s nothing to gawk at with new phones because we’ve seen them all before. Good. I don’t want to talk about my phone anymore.

And it’s okay that Apple and Google are iterating on each other. The big steps have been taken, and it’s time to take the little ones. iOS 9 is the Snow Leopard of iOS: It’s about hashing out the fundamental ecosystem and making everything work together better. Android M is the exact same thing. Is Apple playing a bit of catch-up with Google with features like Siri’s new “proactive” responses? Yes, but that’s good. That means they’re actually paying attention to what else is happening in the industry and have finally pulled their head out of the sand and looked around. Is Google playing catch-up with features like fingerprint authentication and app permissions? Yes, and that’s good too. The more the two companies play off each other, the better we’ll all be for it.

This feels like the last stretch for smartphone innovation. From here, things will get better, faster, and more efficient. Your smartphone is not a revolutionary new product; it’s just another appliance.

Of course, both Apple and Google still have some great tricks up their sleeves with their new operating systems. Each continues to improve on their personal assistants, helping us manage the huge influx of notifications, events, and notes we’ve come to rely on. Google Now On Tap sounds incredible, and multitasking on the iPad—derivative of Windows or not—will be useful. Siri’s new functions will make it a heck of a lot better. In future OS updates, we’ll likely see more of these types of small, incremental improvements to existing services. But it doesn’t really matter which operating system you choose anymore. It’s just about your preferences, because they all do the same thing.

Constant innovation isn’t sustainable for a company or its users. iOS 9 isn’t proof that Apple has lost its innovative touch, it’s just proof that these phones are finally reaching their potential. Innovation will come in the form of new kinds of devices, not overhauling the smartphone. What big new phone features do you really want (besides more battery life, or better performance)? I don’t want to learn how to use a new smartphone operating system every year. I want to be able to treat it like the appliance that it is: it should disappear into my daily workflow so I don’t have to think about it.
